Chapter 456: Chapter 452 Vermilion Bird Acquired Chapter 456: Chapter 452 Vermilion Bird Acquired Watching the five old men with sinister grins, Vermilion Bird truly felt, for the first time, the vivid sensation of being weak and helpless.

“I’m so handsome, I can’t die.”

Vermilion Bird murmured to himself.

His eyes darted around, scanning everything.

The direction of the door was blocked by the five old men, and it wasn’t hard to see through the gaps that there was another identical old man in the corridor.

Even if he could break through the blockade of these five wicked old men, he wouldn’t have the strength left to shake off another old man of the same kind.

Thinking this, Vermilion Bird decided to take a dangerous gamble and break out in a different direction.

While he still had a companion by his side, Vermilion Bird didn’t hesitate to launch a kick, sending his companion flying towards Long Lie to buy himself some time.

At the same time, he fiercely threw the Emei Piercers in his hands towards Ye Lingchen, who was crouched in the corner of the room.

The sight caught the Dragon Guards off guard.

They couldn’t care less about Vermilion Bird and immediately pounced towards Ye Lingchen’s direction.

Nothing was more important than Ye Lingchen.

In front of Ye Lingchen, everything else could wait.

“It worked!”

Vermilion Bird was overjoyed inside.

The very next second!

Without hesitation, Vermilion Bird turned and charged toward the window.

This was the fifth floor, and nobody expected Vermilion Bird to choose to escape by jumping out the window.

Because of this, his escape went smoothly.

Crash–
The sound of shattered glass echoed.

Vermilion Bird had broken through the window.

And leaped down from the fifth floor.

“Holy shit, badass!”

Long Lie was shocked by the scene.

The fifth floor!

He didn’t dare jump like that.

Vermilion Bird didn’t hesitate at all when he leaped.

Even Long Lie had to admire him now.

After jumping down from the fifth floor, Vermilion Bird pulled out the Flying Claw from his waist and hit the launch button.

Swoosh–
The Flying Claw shot out and latched onto the edge of a building.

Vermilion Bird breathed a sigh of relief.

Holding onto the Flying Claw, he swung himself powerfully.

His body crashed straight back towards a window.

Crash–
The sound of breaking glass was heard again.

Vermilion Bird had smashed into a guest room on the second floor.

Vermilion Bird felt a stroke of luck that he had acted quickly; any later and he would have hit the ground and turned into a meat pancake.

Before Vermilion Bird could catch his breath.

Ah–
A woman’s scream pierced the skies.

Holy crap–
Then came a man’s startled cry.

Vermilion Bird jumped in surprise.

Looking in the direction of the noise, he saw a young couple, hugging a blanket, staring at him in terror.

Vermilion Bird knew all too well that his sudden intrusion had startled the lovebirds.

Vermilion Bird grinned mischievously.

Suddenly, he felt like playing a prank.

He approached the bed and kissed the girl on the cheek.

He patted the boy on the shoulder and said with a laugh, “Brother, carry on.”

With that, Vermilion Bird turned and left.

“Smells good.”

Vermilion Bird’s muttering voice clearly entered the couple’s ears.

Click–
Under the bewildered gaze of the couple, Vermilion Bird opened the door.

“Keep going, enjoy yourselves,” he said as he waved at the young couple, considerately closing the room door behind him.

Ah–
Another scream came from the room.

Vermilion Bird’s lips curled up in a mischievous smile.

What a thrill, what joy.

Vermilion Bird ran down the stairs and out of the hotel.

He looked back at the upper floors and blew a kiss.

“Bye-bye, my dear.”

Vermilion Bird said smugly.

With such an escape tactic, aside from him, Vermilion Bird, he wanted to ask, who else?

Vermilion Bird turned around and waved for a taxi.

A taxi stopped beside me.

Vermilion Bird was about to open the car door when suddenly a woman with staggering footsteps appeared out of nowhere and crashed into Vermilion Bird’s arms.

Instantly, a wave of alcohol hit him in the face.

Smelling the pungent alcohol, Vermilion Bird, who had been about to make his move, smiled and let his guard down subconsciously.

“Just escaped death and now a romantic encounter, I truly am a winner in life.”

Thinking of the fleeting glimpse he’d had on the second floor of the hotel, Vermilion Bird felt an itch in his heart, starting to ripple with excitement.

Vermilion Bird forgot the saying “Lust blinds wisdom.”

With that thought, Vermilion Bird subconsciously hugged the drunken woman in his arms and swung open the car door.

The very next second!

Vermilion Bird suddenly felt a numbness around his waist.

Shocked, he looked down instinctively.

He saw the woman in his arms smiling at him.

Vermilion Bird was startled and thought this was bad news.

He had just tried to push away the woman in his arms when he found himself suddenly completely weak.

The woman in his arms, still smiling, pushed Vermilion Bird into the back seat of the taxi.

She waved an empty syringe in her hand.

“The Mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the Hummingbird behind.”

“Anesthetic, elephant dosage.”

Hummingbird cheerfully said.

Vermilion Bird opened his mouth, trying to speak.

But found his tongue had gone stiff.

He just could not speak at all.

After struggling for a moment, Vermilion Bird gave up.

How could he resist the anesthetic of a dosage meant for knocking out an elephant?

He simply let himself go.

Passed out for Hummingbird to look after.

Watching Vermilion Bird asleep like a dead pig.

Hummingbird smiled contemptuously.

She took out cable ties and bound Vermilion Bird’s hands and feet.

Hummingbird rolled Vermilion Bird up into a ball.

And stuffed him into the back seat of the taxi.

Bang–
She closed the back door of the taxi.

Hummingbird then got into the passenger seat.

“Sister Xinyan, let’s go,”
Hummingbird said, smiling.

Seated in the driver’s seat, Jiang Xinyan, wearing a Human Skin Mask of Fang Xiaocao, nodded and floored the accelerator, with the taxi shooting off like an arrow.

Originally Jiang Xinyan and Hummingbird had planned to take advantage of the chaos to capture Helan Nade.

In the original plan, it was highly likely that Helan Nade would be the one to run out.

But unexpectedly, they caught Vermilion Bird instead.

Originally, after receiving a call from Fang Xiaocao, Jiang Xinyan and her group were prepared to leave early the next morning.

But unexpectedly, less than half an hour later, Fang Xiaocao called again.

—
Rewind to a few hours earlier.

After subduing Xuanwu and his group, Fang Xiaocao returned to her room in the antique shop, ready to go to bed.

Just then!

Rrring rrring rrring–
Her phone suddenly rang.

“Who is it, bothering people in the middle of the night?”

Fang Xiaocao muttered and picked up her phone.

To see, surprisingly, it was a WeChat message.

“Could it be Hot Noodles?”

Fang Xiaocao unlocked her phone with a puzzled look.

[Hot Noodles: Jiang Xinyan and Hummingbird are in danger. In three hours, Helan Xiaoyue’s father, the current head of the Helan Clan, Helan Nade, is planning to make a move against them. Not only the Helan family but also Vermilion Bird from the Blacklist are involved. You must inform Jiang Xinyan right now and also contact Ye Lingchen, to have Ye Lingchen go find his father and request the use of a token to have Long Lie and the Dragon Guard help.]
Reading the message from Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao was startled.

After asking Hot Noodles for the specific plan, Fang Xiaocao immediately followed through.

She first gave Ye Lingchen a life-threatening series of calls, ruthlessly waking up the landlord family’s foolish son who was dreaming of getting married.

She repeated Hot Noodle’s plan to Ye Lingchen and told him to go find his father right away.

Ye Lingchen was quite efficient; afraid that he would forget, he went to find his dad in his pajamas.

Patriarch Ye, who was grumpy after being woken up, spent half an hour hitting Ye Lingchen with the sole of his shoe.

On the other end of the phone, Fang Xiaocao, listening to Ye Lingchen’s screams, silently mourned him for a second, then contentedly munched on popcorn.

“Owww…”

“My dad, my butt’s gonna rot…”

“Damn…”

“Dad, I was wrong…”
